Last week a Dutch lady died from the Marburg virus. http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/cidrap/content/bt/vhf/news/jul1008marburg.html
The wikepedia encyclopedia says:
The Marburg virus is the causative agent of Marburg haemorrhagic fever (also known as green monkey disease). Both the disease and virus are related to Ebola and originate in Uganda and Eastern Congo. The zoonosis is of unknown origin, but Egyptian fruit bats are suspected.[1] In the spring of 2005, the virus attracted widespread press attention for an outbreak in Angola
It is frightening to know that after getting all our shots we may still remain at risk of something that you cannot protect you from... but God can!
More than ever we want to ask you to keep us in your prayers. Pray for our protection as the date to leave for Uganda is approching
Maƫlle is now walking and grabbing EVERYTHING!!! So, you can imagine our concern after hearing and reading such a news
